Coming up next - an adult play that proves that when chasing your dreams it helps to be a little crazy.

Jenni Murphy-Scanlon from Riverlea Theatre and Arts Centre

On next at Riverlea Theatre, your warm and friendly community theatre venue, is Cosi. Cosi is a terrific play about madness, illusion, sanity…and theatre.
Cosi explores a life lesson for Lewis, a young director who takes on the
task of directing a play with the patients who live in a mental hospital
in Australia in 1971. As his life is touched by these extraordinary
people and his operatic production (Cosi Fan Tutte) lurches forward, we
learn, along with Lewis, that when chasing your dreams it helps to be a
little crazy.

Add to this that the demanding piece of opera in Italian is going to be
performed by a cast who only speak English and don't sing! And you have
a wonderful comedy.

Please note that this play is suitable for mature audiences as it contains coarse language and sexual references.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
